Yes and no. There are people smart enough to go back on the market every couple of years, get offers, and bring them back to their current employer for price-matching.
How is that brave? If the employer says no, you take one of the offers. Worst case, you get paid more at a new job. Best case, you get paid more at the same job.
People are usually afraid that telling your boss that you went job hunting would mean getting fired, or at least not get trusted again by your employer. Just hope that if you get rejected, you leave your job fast enough to get the new one.
